Gel-to-Foam Styler, The Curl Friend – Volumizing & High Hold Gel to Foam - Flake Free Frizz Control - Infused with Coconut Oil & Shea Butter - For Curly Hair- 6.8 fl oz./ 200 mL

I AM OBSESSED!! My hair is quite thick, more wavy than curly and I have struggled to find a product that doesn’t make my hair feel too heavy, weighs it down or creates stringy strands. My wave/curl type for styling purposes can’t be brushed when wet, only before I shower. The only one I have found that worked previous Kristen Ess Curl Defining Jelly, however this one takes the CAKE. My hair is sooo soft and fluffy but the hold is exceptional. The product holds the curl pattern when first applied - without being heavy enough to weigh it down, as it dries the hold then softens to create super soft hair!!! The scent is also wonderful. I hate strong smells but it’s so light but refreshing. I literally bought it this morning and used it right after work. Hands down AMAZING!!!!

I do have to layer a mousse on top to prevent too much poof and frizz at this time of year, but I live in Florida and no single one product stands a chance. However, if I do that, it holds up all day, it smells amazing but not cloying, and it somehow manages to give volume and a unifying look to a mix of straight, wavy, and curly thin strands that never agree on the plan. I also don’t have to apply it soaking wet, which I love, as I hate getting up early to have to blow dry. I can wash the night before and use a spray bottle to re-wet and apply. It sort of forms a caste but not “ramen hair;” it naturally softens on its own after it fully dries. I rarely have to aggressively scrunch out crunch unless I got too heavy handed with application at the roots. This has been a life saver for hormonally bipolar perimenopausal hair that suddenly stopped responding to products I’d used for years.

This product works great My daughter usually has to use 4 products to make her hair curly manageable With this she only has to use it It also smells amazing It’s so reasonably priced and works so well One of the best curly hair products I’ve ever purchased for her

I have 2C 3A curls. Lots and lots of fine hair so it looks very thick. I can curl my hair easily and I can wear it straight easily. This might help you to know what type of hair I have when reading this review. When I try and get all curls with regular gel, I end up with stringy hair after lots of effort. For the past couple years, I’ve been working really hard on trying to have all curls all the time and zero frizz. I recently discovered that all that effort is giving me all stringy curls all the time and lots of frizz. So I end up looking like I have a bad 80s perm. This stuff is helping me to accept my crazy hair type, some of it is curly, some of it is coily and some of it is straight. I need to use very little of this product to get soft, frizz free, mostly wavy hair. I’m much happier now that I’ve gave up the struggle for perfect curls and accepting the mix of textures in my hair. This gel is helping me to have beautiful frizz free waves even days after my shampoo. Soft, doesn’t feel dirty/sticky from hair products. The scent is heaven for me. It totally smells like lemon cake. I don’t find it to be very strong and I do have a sensitivity to very strong scents in products. This smell is perfection.

Great for 4B hair and above. The gel foam gives curl definition on wet and dry hair. It’s better and more cost efficient on wet hair. It’s moisturizing and smells delicious. Easy to use bottle and curls hold without flaking. This has been a game changer on managing my daughter’s hair especially when time is limited. It provides great shine and volume. I was able to do wash and go style on hair that previous wouldn’t form curls on it’s own. Even hubby loves it.
